a bastard Son of tho Late Prince
Imperial of France Turns Up.
NEW YORK, Jan. ia Paris special to
the Times says all week Paris has been
gathering interest IN the vague stories
that natural child of the prince imperial
was about to be produced. Gradually
these stories have taken form till now
their complete publication is Only mat
ter OF day or two. TIE story WAS
given so much credibility that the Z n.
press Eugene telegraphed = 70 Due
d'Aumal to make strict inquiry. What
gives weight to the rumOr is the fact that
no money is demanded or appareptly,de-
sired, and no move is on foot TO hide tie
child. The mother is school mistress
in Australia. Her documents are in the
care of Mr., Reyuold, an English solicitor,
and consists OF two letters and kilograms,
the former Enthusiastically in the princes
handwriting, but they refer only TO trifing
questions and appointments. The child,
which was at Bercy, is, or was
few days ago at the chateau of the
Marquis of DayleY, where there is reason
to believe impOgtau in erviews were 60
ing to take place, The boy is said to be
the image of his reunited sire. There are
suudry strong Influences in the shadow
behind him. NE story gets good deal
of credence.

Walked OF a IraIn Halt Asleep.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Sept. l..
"A sensation was caused in this
city this morning when it was dis
covered that Messrs. Brown and
Cooper, the proprietors of the St.
Clair Hotel, had skipped out be-
tween two days, leaving behind a
large number of unpaid bills.
James Mayhew, a resident OF
BedlngtOn, this county, while on
his way home on the Cumberland
Valley Railroad, met with an al
most fatal accident. He was
asleep in a car-seat, when a fellow
passenger aroused him suddenly,
and it is supposed that while hall
asleep he walked out of the car
door on to the platform, and then
fell from it as the train ran along,
When the accident was discovered,
tho train was run back, and he was
picked up IN an unconscious condi'
ton, with one leg mangled so bad
| ly as to require amputatlon. His
injuries are of a very serious char
acter.

A CUNNING ESPEDIENT.

There is a fable among the Hin
docs that a thief, having been de-
tected and condemned to die, hap
PLY hit upon an expedient which
gave him hope of life. He sent for
his jailor, and told him he had a
secret of great Importance which he
desired to impart to the king, and
when this had been done he would
be prepared to die. After recelv-
ing this piece of intelligence the
king at once ordered the culprit to
be conducted into his presence and
demanded of him to know his Sc
cret. The thief replied that he
knew the secret of causing tree to
grow which would bear fruit Ofpure
goid. The experiment might easily
be tried, and his majesty would not
lose the opportunity; 80, accompanl-
ed by his cOuItiers and his chief
priest, lie went with the thief to a
spot selected near the city wall,
where the latter performed a series
of solemn nlncantations. This done,
the condemned man produced a
piece of gold, and declared if 1t
should be planted it would produce
tree, every branch of which would
bear gold.
"But," he added, "this must be
put into the ground by q hand that
has never been stained by a dishon-
est act. My hand is not clean, there
fore pass it to your majesty"
The king took the piece of gold
but hesitated. Finally he said; 81

often filched money from my fathers
treasury which was not mine.
